EXTLIACTED FROM THE TRAVELS OF THU LATE AIIIIADAM I'ARsONS, ESQ. Bagdad is seated on both Banks or the river Tigris, in latitude 33. 20. N. and longitude 43. 51: E. The communication is by a bridge of boats from the one side, which is in Meso'jx to the other, situate in Persia; or, as geographical books call it, • in•lrak Arabi. • • The Persian side is more than twice as large as the. other, both in breadth and length pit the bunks of ,the river.they are nearly equal, an extent of upwards of, three miles. -The breadth of each side 'is very irregular, I shall first attempt to de scribe the Mesopotamian side.. It has neither wall, gate, nor castle; and the breadth is so irregular as to defy description., Beginning at one end, 'on the banks of the river, and walking round (as .• nearly 3S possible) until I came to the othet ex 'reality on the same banks, [foetid the distance to be tour tooesand two buodred 'and twenty-five of ,my paces, exclusive of that side next the banks of the river. . This division or the city is' governed by an aga, called the great aga, with other interior agar, whose houses are situated at such a convenient distance groin each other, as to enable them easily to - as•-:• ',retitle, to veil any riot or disturbance. Au Officer, and a certainnumber of jimissaties, mount guard et or pear the houses 'of each of thengas : 't his is the military government. The civil magistrates are the_ cadi or judge, atidn *phi, wlio is the. chief of the law and of religion ; both 'beware dependste un, and appointed by the grand cadi or multi of Bag dad, properly so called; the agar are appointed by the pasha ut Bagdad. As the other side is s - the residence of all, the chief men (the court of the pasha's seraglio being there), as well as all the public obliges, there ate nut to found in the bazars any thing, except provisons, worth euti e cilig, the oppushe biae being the great mart for merchandize front ad parts at Persia anti India, by the Way of • the Perstan Gulph, through &hum aud Arabia. No khans, or caravauseras of • 'any note, fur the 'reception of merchant-strangers and their goods, -are built . in 'this district; yet the inhabitants have advantages which those of the other side do not possess; first, iu the articles of .provisions, which they have cheaper and in grinder arariety; as the many hordes of who supply , the city kinds of dirt, ,are in the neighbour hood. Besides, house•reet is cheaper ; they hate in the suburbs mites , handsume broad streets, with large houses aud. VleilSHlit gardens, for the most part iohabited by eminent nterchauts, who find it mote convenient to reside here, though they isansaet their business iu their magazates (warehouses) or in the tibilOS Oil the other side, to which they repair every morning, and return in the evehiug, on horseback. Here .ire also the houses of many eminent Men in peblic staitotis, who go daily to the other side, to do the duty of their respective offices, and return in the• eliciting to their bouses, which are so open and airy,, with large gardens,. as to steely the place of cohn ay houses. Fur seve ral miles in the s ensirons toe country is.inuch more pleasant aud esiaitenient for the in hautiants,with their o iss to nuke glee little excursions which they frequently do, by way of git .their wives and children little airings and exercise on horse back, previously sending their- servants with a tent . and provisioes, as there is not any town, village, or caravansera, nearer than three hours ride, tit, for people ut condition to resort to. Toe greatest part ut the public gardens sad meadows are likewise oti this side, w inch uecasioos cheeSe, butter, milk,. fruit, and garden-stuff, j to be cheaper than on the other; all which advantages make it a melt more desirable situation than the great city (which the other is called), especially to those who. have leisure to pass freqeently from each. From the banks of the river s oo each side, and di rectly- opposiV to each other, are built two im mense Walls, which project from the banks into the river, which:are sixty-six feet in length, by twenty eight in breadth. These walls, serve as jetty heads, aud are huiltaaf excellent' and 'Well-built brick, so high.as not be overflowed 'when the water is • highest. • The bridge consists of thirty-five boats, all-ef the same construotien and dimension, the bows being sharp like thy London wherries, the, stern likewise bearing a near resemblance ; their length is thirty. , four feet six inches, and their breadth fourteen feet eight inches. The distance from the jetty heads to the first boat on each side is eight feet six inche‘ i then space betweeti each • boat six feet four inches, which makes the river Tigris, at 13lgdarl,. ,to be, from bank to bank, eight'hundred and seventy-pc feet and tour inches broad. FrOm one, side, of the river to the other, two massy iron chains are ex tended ; the iron bars with which the links are made' are as large as a man's wrist; the end; of those chains are fastened to the' rings of two extremely large anchors,, which are buried in the east how° within the wall of the great mosque on' the Persian side, the other two.within, the wall-oia great ware 'house - on the opposite side. Each of those chnint .passes over the bows of twenty-nine of the boats, and are kept in their proper places by one of the , • links being placed over an iron bolt, which stands erect on the bow of beat, Over ; these _twenty... nine boats a stage is laid, made of strong planki, gravelled over, with'railingon each side nearly four feet high; the space irstween each railing is near twenty-tour feet, which gives the hreadth of the bridge. The other 'six boats, of- which the bridge' is formed, are contrived SO as to be aimed wheti rafts or vessels pass down the river from Mosul, (the ancient Nineveh), Or up the fiver Preen Bus- sarah, or : any other, place, which is performed in this manner :—From the jetty heads.a stage is laid to the first,,boat s ,which reaches across that' boat ; fronkahia boat another is laid over the second and third boats;swhich reaches, s and , is fastened to, itie star on the foarthi:its the stage -over the first' boat • it :fastened ro that over the second on each side. Whelk boatCor large vessels - warit to pass, teas suf ficient to hoo;cn the first boat un that side - where . the boat or vessel chooses to pass ; the boat with the 'stage on it immediately swings off itself with the current, and is soon replaced ; but, when 'large rafts the nest two boats, With the stages oh tIG.'o, :rust likewise be let loose, which canieS art in.pe d metkt to the,paskitge,py4. tjte bxidge_tint at . least li ;11 an hour. . . People who walk over the bridge ought to by very 'Careful;sasLa great COncAtse,tit people•onikw, as well as on =horses, mules, and asses, : ale cotta nually passing and repassing ; particularly early every . morning, when many hundred belOrts maw loaded with every kind of provision from. the Meso potamian to the Persian side ; and as in the middle ,uf every boat ,tinabersare placed across; to secure and fasten the ends of the planks together, which, projettin , ;• ° • above the gravel, tOrm so many ridges,' and are the occasion of so many falls. No,luud,d camel is permitted to pass over the bridge., A toll of one para (three farthings) is paid for the passage; of every loaded.Lorse or mule, and halt a para for a loaded ass; but nothing by foot rissen gers, or cA en by those on horseback, who go over the bridge, nortor any beasts which are no ); Wade!). For moving one boat only, on either slat?, to let boats or large vessels pass; one piastre (two shillings •and six-pence) is paid; for moving the three boats • three piastres. The bottoms of the boats are qiiite flat, and draw six inches. water at tie bow, and lour at the stern, There are always boats ready to supply the place of any of those which forth the bridge, n hen they leak., or want nay kind of repair. They 'are placed in less than ten minutes, without moving either railing,planks, or, ever the gravel on the bridge it effeded in the following wanner :-r-The dclektre boat. is loaded with stones, .stitlictent to sink.her so low as to prevent her tioni bearing any part..of - the bridge ; at the. same time the bolts in the bows, 'which are let into a link.of each chain, are likewi.,e loosened; the boat, thus liberated, is inoi•ed in a minute, and .the aew..boA (being previtinsfy loaded as the other was) is hauled up in -her'place; the loading is, by means of imuy batids, quiokly,taken . , - until she bears her p oport leer of the bridge, when the iron bolts :err intioduc,cd into the links of the chain. • _ • • . I. have seen three boats shifted in thie manner, each of theM iti loss than len minutes of time, which is mostly spent in loading the,one. so as to' liberate anti in unloading' the other su as to.supply Cx achy .
